Judgment text excerpt
The appellants challenged the High Court's decision to separately dispose of claimants' appeals while the Union of India's appeals on the same subject matter remained pending. The core issue is whether segregating and deciding appeals of claimants independently of the state's appeals leads to an injustice and a perfunctory determination of compensation. The Supreme Court addressed the procedural propriety of such segregation in land acquisition or compensation disputes.
